The Grooom’s Still Waiting at the Altar

So we’ve been studying in Bible class how God “married” Israel at Sinai. The church is Christ’s bride because Israel is — and we Gentiles have been grafted into Israel.

So I remembered this song — and a little Dylan on a Sunday is just right.

Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
About the madness of becoming what one was never meant to be.

West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the stage
Curtain rising on a new age
See the groom still waiting at the altar.
